VIDEO REPORT: Protester Spits on Romney Supporter in Grand Chute

Posted: Friday, August 17, 2012 --- 3:40p.m.

GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (AP) -- A video taken at a Wisconsin event on behalf of Mitt Romney shows a protester arguing with a Romney supporter and then spitting in her face.

The event Friday in Grand Chute was part of a statewide "Wisconsin Women for Mitt" tour.

A protester interrupted Republican state Sen. Alberta Darling to ask about Republican opposition to Planned Parenthood.

A woman standing next to the protester chides her in a loud voice to "wait until she's done. Zip it. Zip it." The protester tells the woman to get out of her face, and then spits on her.

A Post-Crescent of Appleton report (http://post.cr/NKcm8C ) identifies the protester as an 83-year-old Appleton woman. She says she was scratched on the neck.

Grand Chute police are reviewing the incident.

    She won't even get a slap on the wrist, John. Remember, you can dump beer on someone...as long as that person is conservative, or Republican. You can say idiotic and plain offensive remarks, as long as you are a Democrat. Democrats are looked at like a child who says something outrageous. He sure is a cute kid. They are held to a MUCH LOWER standard, and are hardly held accountable. You can(and they did) get away with SCARING OFF VOTERS, as long as you are holding a bat, and are a member of the New Black Panthers. You can supply machine guns to hoodlums across the border if, the U.S. Attorney General is a complete shill for the Democratic President. Getting back to this disgusting troll who so sickeningly spit in this nice old lady's face. I will be watching this story. She went there LOOKING FOR TROUBLE, and she created it herself! If she would have spit in a Democrats face she would be looking at, assualt,disorderly conduct, tresspassing. Also, who knows what kind of filth has been in this disgusting troll's mouth? YUK. Get her for trying to pass on to another person,her various S.T.D.s too. Pig.

    No excuse for that kind of behavior, enough is enough with these liberal extremists, and it looks like a disorderly conduct citation should be issued to the woman who spit on the other lady at a minimum.
